Provides [hCaptcha](https://hcaptcha.com) integration for TYPO3 EXT:form.

hCaptcha is a free to use alternative to Google reCaptcha with a bigger focus on privacy. It supports initiatives like [PrivacyPass](https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy-pass).

For more information, see [the hCaptcha website](https://hcaptcha.com).

Additionally, hCaptcha provides earnings for solved captchas - that can be donated to the Wikimedia foundation automatically (which is the case for the default settings of this extension).

Quick Setup
-----------

[](#quick-setup)

hCaptcha is configured with a default key to make the setup as easy as possible. It is recommended to create a custom account for your site with hCaptcha and add your own keys.

- Install the extension and activate it
- Include the static template in TypoScript
- Add a `hCaptcha` element to a form

### TypoScript Constants

[](#typoscript-constants)

Set the following constants if you are using your own account:

```
plugin.tx_hcaptcha {
  settings {
    publicKey =
    privateKey =
  }
}

```

### Environment variables

[](#environment-variables)

As an alternative to the TypoScript configuration, you can also use environment variables:

- `HCAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY`
- `HCAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY`

### Content Security Policy

[](#content-security-policy)

If you are using CSP, make sure to adjust them accordingly:

- script-src should include `https://hcaptcha.com, https://*.hcaptcha.com`
- frame-src should include `https://hcaptcha.com, https://*.hcaptcha.com`
- style-src should include `https://hcaptcha.com, https://*`

Privacy
-------

[](#privacy)

Make sure to inform your users of your usage of hCaptcha and what that means - especially if you are using the invisible Enterprise version.
